Zog looks to see who knocked on the door.
She tiptoes around the house.
She tiptoes around the yard.
Then Zog hears a giggle.
It is coming from the bush.

Zog steps closer to the bush. 9
It giggles again.
“Do bushes giggle?” Zog wonders.

A funny hand comes out of the bush.
It waves to Zog.
Another hand comes out of the bush.
It pats Zog on her head.

Zog is scared. 11
Should she run and hide?
Then the funny hands go away.
Zog peeks behind the bush.

“ It’s me!” says Jupe.
Jupe has a tea party set up on the grass.
There are two cups,
two plates, and two cookies.

“Is the tea party for a friend?” asks Zog. 13
“Yes,” says Jupe.
“ That friend is you.”
After tea, Zog says,
“Do you want to play a fun game?”

“Is it tag?” says Jupe.
“No,” says Zog.
“Is it kickball?” says Jupe.
“No,” says Zog, smiling.
“The fun game is hide and seek!”
